1 O come on this bright East­er Day
Before the sun has ris­en,
And see the place where Je­sus lay,
Who now has burst His pris’n!

Refrain:
He is ris­en! He is ris­en!
Jesus takes from death its sting;
He is ris­en! He is ris­en!
Vict’ry oe’r the grave we sing.

2 The Form that lay so cold and still
In ho­ly Jo­seph’s grave,
Now lives again by His own will,
And shows His pow­er to save. [Refrain]

3 The Mar­ys came ere morn­ing light
On that first East­er Day,
But ear­li­er still the an­gel bright
Had rolled the stone away. [Refrain]

4 And now their ris­en Lord they meet,
And hear His word "All hail";
They kneel and hold Him by the feet,
Then haste to tell the tale. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
